If you look at my profile, you'll find the answer Ultra. Look very carefully.

Michael_T: I'm not trying to pry, or anything. I just saw your name was 'Michael', and read your profile and saw that you were involved with a 'Justin', and I thought...you know. But, hey I'm a cool guy, that stuff's alright with me. I've heard of girls with Michael as a first name, and my first name is Michael as well, I've just never met a female Michael.
Anyway,
Thanks for the input, I've been reading up and scribbling down ships from books I borrowed from the library, but still probably don't have 1/10th the ships there are. Any more contributions would be appreciated.

I will continue posting from my list as soon as I have time enough to print it out (you see, its on a list that doesn't interface with IBM-compatible software.)

For some reason, I thought Shatner wouldn't slaughter a canon starship. (Of course, he slaughters canon throughout his books, so why would I think that? )
I have the ships from TOS #78 Invasion! 1: First Strike, but other than the frigate Great Lakes and the Fury ship they're all Klink BoPs. Are we including other emps' ships in this, or is it a Feddie-only list?

UMagnus: Just thought I'd let you know that I used to be a massive Transformers fan. My interest has fallen since the cartoon ended though.
Is that Transformers virus double episode the last one? I remember it having the resurrection of good old Op Prime. It was the last one that aired over here (West Australia).
Some of the toys are worth amazing amounts these days
Oh yeah, my first name is also Michael. Dax is my real surname, too.

Thanks Frank. Was "Rebirth" the last episode? It annoys me to think that I've seen everything but the last episode. They never repeat it over here anymore either
Oh yeah, did you know that Leonard Nimoy did the voice of Galvatron in the movie? I can't remember if he continued on for the later cartoons.

Yes, "Rebirth" (a 3-part episode) was the last one. It didn't really seem like a conclusion to the series, though...more of a way to introduce the year 4 toys.
Frank Welker, voice of Megatron and every other cartoon character ever (look up his voice credits), did Galvatron after the movie.

Good ol' Oppie was voiced by Peter Cullen, so was Ironhide.
In the movie there was an abundance of 'higher echelon' stars voicing characters. Robert Stack voiced Ultra Magnus, Judd Nelson was Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, Eric Idle was Wreck-Gar and Orson Welles [!!] was Unicron.
Back on topic: I just bought TOS #29: "DREADNOUGHT!", and it has a couple of ship names, most from fandom, which is kinda wierd.

I believe the Saladin is actually called the Akula Class.

Can you make a pet of him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls? Will traders barter for him? Will they divide him up among the merchants? Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears. If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the struggle and never do it again!" -Job 41:1 - Job 41:8

So for the Dreadnoughts and Destroyers they're (mostly) using names straight out of the Star Fleet Technical Manual but with a different design for the ships.
Okay, that ties in with this being an adaptation of the Star Fleet Battles game. (For those that don't know SFB was never licensed by Paramount but was allowed to use material from the Star Fleet Tech Manual, which was licensed by Paramount, wierd or what?)
BTW are there any SFB players out there? I'd like some info on some of the ships invented for that game. In particular the Federation NCL.
